You’re working really hard on this bike and I for one want you to get it sorted and ride the wheels off it through the summer!

Keep going, you’ll get there!

I think I would also strip out the points and either replace them or strip them down to clean and check them along with lubrication of the moving point pivot shafts.

If the points are so corroded the moving point arms could be sluggish.

I’d check them for sure.

I’m not convinced. The position of the visible cam sprocket bolt on the exhaust cam looks out of position to me and lacks symmetry with its opposing bolt head on the inlet cam. A careful re count and re check is definitely the way forward.

Looking forward to hearing the pin count.

Top Job! Looks awesome!

Top job Bill, they both look spot on!

Welcome back! Nothing wrong with a good shaftie! Although I have my fix from a different stable that’s a bit more on the dark side!

Welcome back! Nice looking iron you have there!

Nice work!

Really nice looking bike! Who did the diamond cutting on the rims? Was it expensive?

If it was my decision I’d leave the fairing on. It looks good but comes down to personal choice!

Nice looking 650 Bill! Top job!

I don’t know anywhere else you could go and get that level of in depth technical information. It’s incredible!

Your skills and experience Rob are second to none and I for one am so glad that you support this forum.

What are you looking for?

That’s a top job Bill! Did Mr Dewis do the paint?

My experience of Partzilla is that their site often says they have stock of an item which you can add to basket but when you contact them, the parts are out of stock.

I don’t even try them anymore.
